• Work closely with building vendors, including security, landlord, daily janitorial services, and extended facilities teams to ensure employees experience a smooth work environment
  • Address any facility or workplace issues (elevator down, restroom flood, refrigerator not cooling, etc) promptly, including engaging the correct vendor to address the issue
• Coordinate with other vendors (catering, maintenance, event staff, etc.), escorting, and directing contractors who are here to do one-off and recurring tasks to ensure compliance with our policies

• A service and solution-based mindset/internal customer orientation, and are excited to take on essential but behind-the-scenes tasks to help our teams do impactful work
